auld lang syne.

Interrupting regular scheduled programming to offer this lovely version of Auld Lang Syne, from Paolo Nutini.

(Found thanks to my mother).

happy weekend.

i thought i'd share this hip pete yorn & scarlett johansson video for you on this friday (i know many of us already know about it, but thought to post the video anyway). i have a lot of work and cleaning to catch up on this weekend, but hope to enjoy the surprisingly warm weather with a lot of neighborhood walking. wishing all of you warm and relaxing weekends, too. xo.

have a dreamy weekend.

here's a pretty song coming to you on this friday eve. i'm so excited to get my hands on their new album, and while the video isn't really anything to speak of, the song is really beautiful. have a bliss-filled, rest-filled, belly-laugh filled weekend, dear friends.

have an awesome weekend.

here is an awesome avett brothers video (they are on tour right now and supposedly putting on an incredible show) for you on this sunny friday afternoon in hopes that you'll have a totally awesome weekend.

while listening to npr the other day, i discovered the group the low anthem. i'm quickly falling in love with their music. here is a wonderfully simple and pretty song to start your friday. xo.

the day that disco died.

the chicago reader posted a great article this week about the day that disco died. i love these photographs that diane alexander took with her "Kodak Retina Reflex IIIC" (what a name!). admission to the event was a whopping 98 cents. i love the dude in the third picture-- his ripped t-shirt, his tight cut-off jeans, and his casual way with the peace sign.
